Here's the thing a lot of Republicans are missing: if just another
status quo "Republican" is on the general ballot, lots of Republicans
will not vote for him/her. They will stay home, vote third party,
whatever. Democrats will still vote Democrat. Third-party supporters will vote for their party.



OTOH, if Ron Paul is the Republican candidate, how many Republicans won't vote for him? How many Libertarians won't vote for him? In fact, most third-party supporters would vote for him, just because he really does represent change. Lots of Democrats would too, for the same reason.



If Ron Paul is the Republican on the general ballot, he will win by a landslide. The mainstream media knows it, which is why they try to ignore him.

Ron Paul is the only hope America has to save herself. Everybody else just wants to take a degree or two turn when we need to go completely in the opposite direction were heading in which is just not damn good enough when the ship is sinking as fast as it is.

What you don't get is that the man only gets votes from people going to vote.

The machine wins elections.  O wins elections because he has buses running people to the poll booth,s and maybe other buses running those same people to other toll booths, and maybe then another bus running those people to another state's poll booth.

Ron Paul does not have the machine behind him and does not appear to have the balls to call the dems out on voter fraud charges.  You can bet the dems will be charging the Rep. cnidate with every bogus voter fraud charge they can dream up.

If Paul is the nomineee it just promises that the Dems will win by fruad and not be contested from where I sit.

I'll say it again: only republicans will vote for a Rick Perry or a Mitt Romney, and not even all of them. People who otherwise vote for third parties would vote for Ron Paul, as would even quite a few Democrats who are mostly Democrat because they are anti-war or anti-War On Drugs. The end result is that Ron Paul would win.

If you are a Republican and you vote for Ron Paul in the primary and he loses, what have you lost? You can still vote for whomever did win, in the general.

You are simply wrong and history proves it.



Moderates are not going to vote for Paul. They will vote for obama, just like last time.



Where do y'all come up with this stuff?



Politicians move to the center to get elected. They start off either conservative or liberal in the primaries and then lessen the rhetoric when the general come around.



Only 30 or 40% of the people are going to like what Paul says. That means obama in the WH.


Paul wasn't on the general ballot last time.

The so called RINOs y'all bitch so much about are the only people that stand a chance.

There aren't enough conservatives in the country to get elected. Moderates settle the elections. If the moderates vote for the more conservative choice, a republican gets the office, if they vote for a more liberal choice, a demo gets the office.

Just because YOU want a strictly conservative guy doesn't mean everyone will. In fact it is pretty much a fucking lock that the majority won't.

I'm saying a vote for Romney or Perry guarantees that it will be a very close race, like the last half-dozen elections have been. The last 3 Presidentials have been close but the previous 3 before them were not. Perry can and will beat Obama..Paul would lose 50 states if he won the Rep. primary..no worries, he won't.

You paulbots even further diminish any credibility that RuPaul has by spamming every board on the internet..it may seem cool and fun to do, but the adults have decisions to make, and voting for a tired old kook is not among them.

I can agree with the premise of what the OP is saying.  Look back at 2008.  The Democrats registered all kinds of new voters, and the voter turnout was supposed to be huuuuge that year.  But in the end, the only actual increase in voter turnout was just a small amount due to population growth.  So if the Democrats had so many new voters, why didn't the total number of voters increase?  Because a lot of conservatives who voted for Bush in the past were tired of the same old shit and decided to stay home in 2008.



I really do think the Republican party would do well to select someone who is more conservative than your average RINO, especially regarding economic policy.  Although, I don't think Ron Paul is the right man.  I don't know who the right person would be, but it ain't him.

The thing about Iran and the nukes is that the only possible way the US can prevent them having nukes is to go over there, start a war with them, and occupy the country. Where are we gonna get the money to do that? In case you haven't noticed, we are just about bankrupt. When the US becomes bankrupt, who is gonna keep our enemies out then?



Ron Paul is not calling for dismantling the military; he is calling for not starting a war with Iran.



There is a very big difference between having a nuke and having a missile that can get it over here. Yeah, I know: they can deliver one over here in a shipping container. Well, guess what: they can already do that. There are lots of nukes in the world, and we don't know where the vast majority of them are.

But we don't have to worry about missile-delivered nukes. We have had the ability to effectively intercept them for a long time, and the ability to hammer the place it came from.

We could just honor our commitment to Israel....and get it done by proxy.



If they start getting close to having nuke missile capability, Israel will certainly deal with them rather than being within range of it.

Ron Paul will never win a national election in the United States.  Shut up and go away.  You and your vote are not needed in the primary and they are not needed in the general.  Your opinion is not needed and wanted.  I'm sick of this shit.  Go away.

Yeah, I know: they can deliver one over here in a shipping container. Well, guess what: they can already do that. There are lots of nukes in the world, and we don't know where the vast majority of them are.
But we don't have to worry about missile-delivered nukes. We have had the ability to effectively intercept them for a long time, and the ability to hammer the place it came from.


Not so much, nucs are actually not that widely available and those who have them understand how traceble to the maker they are to make sure they don't end up here.  

The problem is the trully bat shit crazy type who welcomes a US response getting them.
